Hello, good question, the alternative to replacing the interior door handles in bmw x5 e53 is to wrap them with high-quality leather, this way you can save money and time as it is way easier to wrap them with leather rather than replace them. I once used these covers from here BMW X5 E53 Interior Door Handle Leather Covers
Easy installation shown in this video:

This is how it looks like:


Hope that helps someone.

Now they are all shiny and black.

bumping an older thread, what strong cleaner did you use, mine are starting to get worn as well
